Jamaica, seeking to reduce dependency on fuel oil for the production of its electricity, plans to begin importing liquefied natural gas from Trinidad and Tobago by 2009.
The two Caribbean countries have signed a Memorandum of Understanding for the supply of 1.1 million tones of LNG per annum over a 20-year period for use by the Jamaican aluminium company ( JAMALCO) and the Jamaica Public Service Company (JPSCo) power plants.
Trinidad and Tobago has committed itself to offering Jamaica a “kind of pricing arrangement that is mutually acceptable,” said Patrick Manning, the prime minister of the oil and gas producing country.
